3 weeks, 6 days post-op (McFarland Bypass done 2/21/2018) A little rainy today, but we’re going to try and take the train anyway! (Baby’s 1st train ride!) Taking the train was so fun, and the food wasn’t bad either. I loved not being stuck in traffic for hours, and being Read more…
So, this is the walkway in front of my house. After taking the wheelchair up the steps yesterday (lame!) we decided I would like to build a cost-effective, temporary, wooden wheelchair ramp. Does anyone have any suggestions or tips? I thought I’d head to Lowe’s and ask for help in Read more…
6 days post-op (McFarland Bypass done 2/21/2018) Today is our first post-op appointment. We need to get x-rays, and orders say through the cast. However, we might be getting a new cast today anyway, because somebody has already started walking in her cast, which is a no-no! So we are Read more…
